Chapter 62 You Can Only Win, Not Lose

Canada is out of hope, is it India, Malaya, or?

Palmerston thought of a place, which was really suitable.

.........

Amsterdam.

"Your Majesty, the British actually rejected our Canadian request."

Hesbetfon held the telegram in his hand, looking shocked, and at the same time, he felt even more excited.

The entire Privy Council held another meeting on February 25, 1862.

As the content of Hesbert von's telegram was revealed in the entire Privy Council meeting room, everyone's breath was condensed.

The British actually rejected our request. So, hasn’t all our previous plans been wasted?

During this period, the Netherlands has used a lot of manpower and material resources to prepare for taking over Canada, but now it has discovered that everything has to be in vain and has been in vain, which makes people, including the military, feel uncomfortable and thus becomes dissatisfied with the United Kingdom.

"What are you doing?" Hesbetfon saw that besides him and Prime Minister Thorbeck, plus William IV and five heads of two major intelligence agencies, there were only Mark Lude, the military, and several insiders, except for the others.

"Your Majesty, Britain does this, it seems that it does not want to do things with us. At the same time, Queen Victoria attaches great importance to Canada."

The person who spoke was Wem Cott, the Minister of Industry, and he followed: "But this time Queen Victoria was really generous and was willing to take out the New South Wales territory and Tasmania to keep it. What does this mean? Or the British actually opened their mouths, like all of our Hawaiian Islands, this is really a lion's mouth."

William IV and Hesbetfung, several insiders, looked at each other, and then Hesbetfung, the lowest-level foreign minister, said: "What expression do you have? You should be happy, because this is exactly what our Majesty had planned before," said Hesbetfung.

It turned out that William IV had never really expressed his true purpose from the beginning in front of Palmerston as Prime Minister of the British Empire.

"But, are you sure the British would object to Canada's giving?" The spokesperson was Agriculture Secretary Erne Bevin.

"Because, Your Majesty set up layers of arrangements from the beginning," Hesbertfon suddenly found his mood at this time, especially refreshing, so he said: "Don't forget that Your Majesty revealed the most critical news to the other party from the beginning."

“Alaska”

"Yes, it's Alaska. Your Majesty revealed to the UK that I was discussing the purchase of Alaska with the Tsarist Russian Empire. In order to be more realistic, Your Majesty even prevents the leak of information from happening, and has been preparing for everything that has not been subject to Alaska.

These Palmerstons can be obtained by simply checking them at the British Embassy in the Netherlands.”

"But what does this have to do with Britain's opposition to us in Canada?"

"It's a big deal." William IV spoke. After looking around everyone, he said, "Because, if you take Alaska and then Canada, then the Netherlands can use the two sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and the fleet can even connect in the summer. If you find a waterway, you can also go directly from the Bering Strait to the Pacific from north to south.

Don’t forget that Britain seized maritime hegemony from us more than 100 years ago, and it is even better. We can all find that the British now set up checkpoints guarded by the British on key routes of various countries around the world, such as the Strait of Gibraltar, Cape of Good Hope, and Malacca together with us. The Suez Canal has the English Channel. The claws even extend to the Ore Strait between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea."

"So, the British were aware of such signs in the Netherlands, so they naturally wanted to break it.

I have discussed it carefully with the Prime Minister and the Chief of Staff. Canada has naturally received a very gratifying experience. But the strength of the British and the navy that is now tremendous. They will never sit and watch the rise of the Netherlands, let alone Canada on the other side of the Atlantic. And most importantly, if Canada gives us, everyone will go down carefully. Wouldn’t the rear of the British Isles be gone?”

Following William IV's account, some people understood that this was not to be violated, but His Majesty did it.

"His Majesty's purpose from the very beginning was Australia?"

"Yes, Australia is surrounded by the sea, and is close to our East India and New Guinea Islands. The South Pacific islands we just harvested also sprinkled the entire South Pacific like soybeans. God has arranged for us such a place with good time, place and people. If we don't ask for it, it is a blasphemy to God."

"But your Majesty, the British are now leaving behind the places in New South Wales. What does it mean?"

The question was about the question, the Minister of Agriculture Erne Bell.

William smiled at him and said, "The British will keep a hand in their work. Whether they retreat or advance, they will leave a glimmer of life for themselves. For example, the Strait of Gibraltar, they have controlled it, but they have never used it to prevent the entry and exit of any country, especially Spain, which is a kind of Viagra, exists, but does not need it. Norway is also, which is obviously encouraging Norway to be independent, but they dare not make a fuss with Sweden.

Anyway, this is a model of British diplomacy that is equal to people.

William IV even thought of a pending backhand left by the British in later generations.

The biggest one is the British colony in the northern part of the Indian Ocean. The remaining issues include India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and even Myanmar, which deliberately left some territorial disputes to fight with these countries themselves, but he hid aside and realized that he was waiting to be invited out to be a referee."

"Next, Belgium's good show is about to come on, and everyone is playing twelve points. This game of chess is only allowed to win but not lose."

"yes"

.....

France, Louvre.

Napoleon III looked at the telegram in front of him thoughtfully. Based on the recent changes in the Belgian situation, he was ready to follow up with the Netherlands. Sure enough, he clearly explained on the telegram that the Netherlands was indeed about to start operations against Belgium.

However, the Netherlands is mysterious recently. Although France is not afraid of the Netherlands, it must be careful. Could it be that William IV uses x to use France to fight against Britain because it is really just for this? There must be a conspiracy in this.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? I see that the Netherlands' action this time should be more than that simple from the beginning. The word "Holland" boldly agreed to take the lead and persuaded Prussia to fully support France's territorial occupation of the three southern provinces of Belgium.

No, it should be said that the inclusion, but the Netherlands did not say what they wanted to obtain. This is a doubt. The second doubt is, if we follow up now, will the anger of the British finally be vented on us?

Olivier, Prime Minister of the French Empire, asked Napoleon III.

Napoleon III was a proud man, and Olivier's problem was actually his problem, but should a noble French Empire tell his subordinates that he didn't know?

"Well, just do as the Dutch telegram said. We have settled the three provinces in southern Belgium, and eat them into our mouths, and there is no possibility of spitting them out. So what if the British navy is strong, are we afraid that they will not be able to do it?"

Napoleon III patted Olivier's shoulder intimately as a dignified monarch and said confidently: "God will keep our wishes fulfilled. Catholicism is with us. France's path to rise again begins with Belgium."

Napoleon III didn't mind making some small money first as an appetizer, but he was not a fool either. Naturally, he would not easily fight with the British and gain other countries the benefits of fishermen, so he would not have gone all out, and he would never spend a lot of money.

However, what he didn't know was that his first Belgian action indirectly affected the overall security and political situation of Belgium and even Europe. Although Europe did not eventually form a large-scale war, it still attracted the reorganization of relations between European countries and the yelling of the British Empire government.
